Selfies Taken from a Distance Can Make You Look More Attractive & Trustworthy

In addition to taking great selfies, the iStabilizer Bundle can help you take photos further away from your face, which can make you look more attractive, trustworthy and intelligent. According to researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), close-up photo subjects taken too closely are judged to look less trustworthy, less competent, and less attractive. “Until now, one factor has never been investigated: the distance between the photographer and the subject. According to a new study, this turns out to make a difference.” See Science Daily article at: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/09/120926153030.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily+%28ScienceDaily%3A+Latest+Science+News%29“The iStabilizer Monopod and Shutter Remote Bundle is a great tool for the amateur or professional photographer using their smartphone for video and photo selfies.
